Lisa Fields connects creativity, humor, and practical wisdom along with an M.S. in adult education. She has over twenty years experience as a professional speaker and trainer. Her dedication to our field has allowed her the honor of sitting side-by-side paramedics as they responded to calls for medical assistance, coached 911 professionals as they coordinated emergency services and participated in family meetings centered on end of life discussions. Ms. Fields has worked within the Addiction, Mental Health and Vocational Rehabilitation field. While always pleased to have the opportunity to design custom programs, Lisa's talks focus on the following core areas: Participatory Medicine, visual storytelling, patient satisfaction, peer-to-peer health care, leadership development, Social Media, conflict resolution, and communication.

Her programs can be used as either workshop sessions or Keynote Talks.

For CERP topics, required paperwork will be provided promptly to meet CERP deadlines.

"You are a gifted presenter and your style is completely believable. Your connection with your audience is completely credible. Your many, varied professional experiences have fortified you with a meaningful understanding of people that allows others to believe you almost immediately and to connect to you with trust. In all my years, I think those kinds of attributes are the most important. I love your sincerity….AND YOUR HUMOR. All the other stuff, too – like the incorporation of clever technology in your presentations that make them interactive, current, and fun"

I've had many, varied professional experiences which have given me a unique understanding and desire to listen and learn from as many people as possible. I've been fortunate to have served within the Addiction, Mental Health and Vocational Rehabilitation field.

"Remember the Patient. Remember those who help others." Dr. Don Berwick As a speaker, adult education scholar, patient and health care advocate my work is centered around that central theme.

We each have the desire to be appreciated but the way we want to be appreciated may be different. We each have the desire to speak our truth about our health care needs but the way we speak our truth may be different. We each have the desire for people to listen to our health care needs but the communication tools we chose to bring us a listening ear may be different.

Only when we chose to collaborate, respect the practical wisdom we each possess and listen, and I mean really listen do we have a chance to improve not only our own health but also the health of all people.

Susannah Fox, of the Pew Internet and American Life Projects best describes my goal for each presentation.

"We are all on this adventure together, whether you are a researcher, a clinician, a patient, or an entrepreneur. You want to build value and contribute to better health. Your best chance is to band together with other people, stay humble, ask for – and offer – help."
